Texas mayor resigns to be with undocumented partner
When J.W. Lown gained a same-sex partner, the city of San Angelo lost a mayor.
Lown notified the City Council earlier this month he was now living in Mexico in order to be with his partner – an undocumented Mexican who had been living in the United States illegally.
First elected in 2003, Lown, who is the youngest person ever elected mayor in San Antonio, told the San Angelo Standard-Times he fell in love with his partner in March. Lown had already announced his re-election campaign, and he thought the man with whom he fell in love had a student visa.
The visa expired, and Lowe decided to decline another term in office-10 days after voters re-elected him earlier this month-and move to Mexico with his partner and help him secure a visa to re-enter the United States.
